Ravenclaw's Proper Method of Learning

Harry simply smiled at Ron's shock.

He felt that naming a magical phenomenon was not difficult; the difficulty lay in learning the first half—breaking away from the existing magical system and casting spells based on intuition.

Moreover, 'learning' the magic on the Deluminator, even the simplest kind, is very difficult.

Yes, the simplest.

The ritual that allowed Harry to detect the effects of Potions in Atlantis was found to work just as well with the Deluminator.

Otherwise, even with Sirius and Lupin's help, they probably wouldn't have learned the magic so quickly.

Not to mention the naming of that magic spell.

And through it, Harry also discovered the more mysterious and wondrous magic contained within the Deluminator.

He even faintly heard a sentence, Neville's voice. "Grandma, Harry taught me this."

"Also, Harry, Ron, and I don't have the kind of relationship Rita Skeeter described!"

However, the sound only lasted for a brief moment before becoming indistinct.

Harry wasn't going to tell Ron and the others about these things, because it involved the secrets of the underwater wizarding world.

He was about to say something else.

"A book, a little-known book that Ryan once recommended to me, 'The Standard Book of Spells'."

"This book explains the origins and meanings behind spells and incantations."

"Ron, you should know that," Harry shook his head in exasperation.

"This won't help." Ron's ears turned red.

He felt that this kind of knowledge was purely for showing off, and that the power of magic was only related to one's own magical power.

"How is it useless? Once you understand these things, you'll find that learning the spell whose name you understand will be much easier."

"This is the way Ravenclaw should learn spells," Harry said.

In Harry's view, Ravenclaw purpose is to reduce the difficulty of learning a spell through knowledge.

Instead of learning by instinct, or by the standard pronunciation of spells in spellbooks, or by the trajectory of a wand.

The latter type of work only requires hard work.

This is the approach the Hufflepuff should take.

"I finally understand!"

"Why was it that some guys in my school days could quickly learn to cast a spell even though they had heavy accents?" Sirius suddenly realized.

He never imagined that the bookworm he considered had such methods.

He's so old and he only just realized this; he doesn't even know as much as he does raising his own children!

"Actually, this method depends on the person. Those who can't get into reading books, or those who are better at learning spells through practice, don't need it."

"Most first-year students are like this, so no teacher recommends this method."

"Even Professor Flitwick only gave me extra credit for my explanation of the spell, even though he clearly knew what that method was."

"But he did not provide any further explanation."

"A method that couldn't be promoted even in Ravenclaw House, it really is the obscure book Ryan was talking about," Harry said.

He had originally intended to comfort Sirius, but the more he talked, the more he realized the limitations of this method of learning spells.

It's very Ravenclaw, but nobody wants to learn it that way.

Instead of wasting time reading books, you might as well correct your accent and practice the trajectory of waving your magic wand.

"Stop doing this, Harry."

"Isn't it quite useful?"

"See, it's because of this book and this learning method that you invented a spell so quickly," Ron comforted him.

"So you're willing to learn like this too?" Harry was overjoyed.

"I think I'll pass," Ron said dejectedly.

Everyone except Harry burst into laughter.

Ryan, who had already arrived at Diagon Alley in London and was shopping with Penelope and Kate, looked up.

He noticed Harry; Harry had mentioned his name.

"What's wrong?" Kate asked curiously as she looked at Ryan, who had suddenly stopped, standing next to the Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour, which had recently been completely covered up for some reason.

After examining the information left by the anchors on Harry and the others, Ryan...

"It's nothing. Harry Potter mentioned me; he created a spell."

"Harry Potter? That guy who's always messing around with guys?" Penelope blinked, her senses severely behind.

"You could say that," Ryan, offering no explanation for Harry.

He felt that this was not something he needed to explain to Penelope.

After all, it all started with the raw material Dudley used to become a wizard—that perverted wizard named Jason Caster.

Ryan himself was also involved in the matter.

"What was the incantation for the spell he created?"

"What effect?" Penelope shook Ryan's right hand.

"Sklupgorgio!"

"Meaning?"

As for the results?

"Guess?" Ryan said with a wicked grin.

Penelope is indeed Penelope; if it were Kate, she would probably have clung to Ryan until Ryan explained himself.

Kate has never had much patience for these academic matters.

"Lupus, the wolf?"

"Is it a spell similar to a serpent summoning spell, a kind of Transfiguration?"

"No, the incantation for the snake summoning spell is Serpensortia (The Serpensortia)."

"Serpens means snake; ortus is the past participle of the Latin verb oriri, meaning to be created; sortir is a French verb meaning to go out."

"If it really is that summoning wolf, then it should be Lupusortia."

"The stories used to name children are mostly based on Scandinavia mythology."

"Let me think about it."

"Sol?"

"Wrong!"

"Got it! Skoll!"

So Penelope took a notebook out of her pocket and started scribbling and drawing to herself.

"Do you understand now?" Ryan said.

To be honest, he's starting to regret it now.

He shouldn't have made that kind of joke—to Penelope.

All I can say is that he spent a lot of time with Kate during this period.

They were teasing Penelope, mistaking her for Kate.

He had forgotten just how passionate Penelope, now that he had Ryan, was when faced with intellectual puzzles.

"Sigh, I'm not Penelope's little darling anymore," Ryan couldn't help but think.

"Hmm, if I'm not mistaken, it's related to light."

"Potter was once trained by you, and he knows that Scandinavia mythology is the most suitable story—because they died the cleanest."

"So it didn't actually conjure a wolf, but rather borrowed the story of Skoll the Sun-Eating Wolf who devoured the sun."

"The spell's effect is to banish, no, temporarily 'devour' sunlight, creating a dark effect," Penelope said confidently.

"Yes, I think this must be related to that Regulus."

"He's a living Inferi now, he doesn't like sunlight," Kate interjected.

"Yes, that's its purpose," Ryan replied with a sour face.

"By the way, I was just about to ask you something: why are you keeping snakes at home?" Kate couldn't contain her curiosity.

"That's not a snake, that's a Blood-cursed Werewolf. You can call her by her name— Nagini, my new subject." Ryan said with a mysterious smile.
